Good Resolutions. 

John woke early on Jan. firft and felt queer; 
Said, " Peaches I'll swear off this year ! " 

For the lobster was fine, 

And the rabbit and wine, 
And it certainly wasn't the beer!"

Beware of Rash Judgments.

All the ladies said couldn't be horrider; 

But she proved them all wrong, 

And she said, " Go along ! " 
While the climate grew torrid and torrider.

The Wicked Pun&er. 

Said a sporty young person named Groat, 
Who owned an old race-horse of note, 

" I consider it smart 

To lunch a la cart, 
But the horse always takes table d'oat." 





There was a young man who said, "There, 
I will sneak out during this prayer!" 

But the squeak of his shoes 

So enlivened the pews, 
That he sat down again in despair. 




Speak Kindly, 

She's so homely you'd think she would smother, 
And her back view is ju£ like her brother. 

Her eyes are both bent, 

And her nose is a dent; 
But then, " she's so good to her mother! " 




Feb. 






Good Manners. 

There was a young person of Tottenhem, 
Whose manners, Good Lord! she'd forgotten 
'em. 

When she went to the vicar's, 

She took off her knickers, 
Because she said she was hot in 'em. 





Appearances are Deceitful. 

There was a young lady of Skye, 
With a shape like a capital I ; 

She said, " It's too bad ! 

But then I can pad," — 
Which shows you that figures can lie. 




Sculpture. 

There was an old sculptor named Phidias, 
Whose knowledge of Art was invidious. 

He carved Aphrodite 

Without any nightie — 
B Which startled the purely fastidious.

Intemperance. 

There once was a baker named Dunn, 
Who always was out for the fun,

He spent all his dough on a "bun"!

Comparisons are Odious. 

A talented artist (Eld Lanseer),

Why, lafl week I saw a dog-fancier." 




Inspiration.

She was kindly and gentle and thrifty;

And she never made eyes —

With a gun and a high rubber boot;
